More than one Ebay account

I've been rummaging through the rules but I can't see that they actually forbid you from opening another seller account: basically I have one already that is working just fine, good ratings, selling odds and ends. I want to do something a bit different and would rather do so via a separate ebay identity, has anyone else done anything similar?

I've got two. Only problem was Paypal, had to have a different e-mail & bank account.

You can have as many accounts as you like. Many sellers have separate shops, or buying and selling accounts, and many posters on the eBay community boards have accounts just for a posting ID to preserve anonymity and to also stop their auctions being wrecked if someone disagrees with them.

I've got two - one is my personal one and one is for my shop, so a business one.

they are both attached to different paypal accounts too.
(because it won't let you have the same paypal account for 2 separate ebay accounts)

You can have multiple accounts, sometimes however they do restrict the amount of accounts you can have attached to one landline. Your accounts must not interact with each other i.e you cannot use one to bid on your own items on another account. You can have 8 email addresses to one PayPal account therefore using one PayPal account for 8 email ID's.

You are only ever allowed two PayPal accounts one premier/business one personal.

You have to have a premier PP account to sell.

Another thread whereby information which has been posted is wrong.

i.e one PP account per eBay ID what a load of rubbish.

nickelbabe · 12/11/2011 12:48

ah, i misunderstood then.
I thought you couldn't have the same paypal account for two ebay accounts.

Tryharder · 12/11/2011 13:06

Fabby is right. Both my DH and I have accounts which we buy and sell from and they are both linked to my paypal account.

SolidGoldVampireBat · 12/11/2011 15:27

YY will keep the same paypal account. I think this scam scheme of mine has legs Grin
